Preparation and Cooking
- 1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips, approximately 1/4 inch wide.
- 2
Soak the Potatoes
Place the potato strips in a bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and makes the fries crispier.
- 3
Dry the Potatoes
Drain the soaked potatoes and pat them dry with a clean towel to remove excess moisture.
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature.
- 5
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add a handful of potato strips to the hot oil. Fry in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown.
